The newest creation from Paula Lambert, author of The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and founder of the Mozzarella Company is this luxurious Burrata. Their burrata is made in the style of Burrino in Northern Italy. It is a fresh Italian-style cow's milk cheese made by completely encasing a soft, creamy lump of sweet cream butter with soft, fresh mozzarella. Its name comes from its buttery center: burro means butter in Italian. It is a seductive cheese.

To make this burrata, the Mozzarella Company churns fresh cream to make sweet butter, then stretch cheese curds to make mozzarella. The mozzarella is hand-formed around a one-ounce piece of butter to conceal a soft, creamy center inside the burrata. Each and every step is done by hand. Finally the burrata is briefly immersed in brine before it is wrapped in parchment paper and packaged. The flavor is fresh, milky, and buttery.
